Ok I agree that I have just talked about integer Variables and there are alot of other type. Floating point being the decimal point, also signed and unsigned values which basically cut the amount stored in half for examply instead of 0 to 255 it is now -128 to 128. If a program uses alot of maths routines then it will have a speed increase. However not all of the program is going to be math routines. You will get different menu routines, routines to save data and so on. Doubling the amount of bits will not double the speed on normal programs or maths intensive programs. On normal programs you will not notice much difference. On maths intensive programs you will get a big increase but not twice as much.
